Bucky Sligo

Bucky Sligo (1957-2008) was an Irish-American criminal who was involved with the Provisional IRA during The Troubles and with the Irish Mob during the 2000s. Sligo was wanted on armed robbery charges by 2008, and Niko Bellic used the police database to track Sligo down to his Weehawken, New Jersey apartment and kill him on the orders of Sligo's rival and former friend, Derrick McReary.

Biography
Bucky Sligo was born in Queens, New York City, New York, United States in 1957 to a family of Irish descent, and he was involved with crime from a young age. During the Vietnam War, Sligo took part in student protests, and he was arrested in 1970 for disorderly conduct, in 1971 for disobedience, and in 1974 for resisting arrest. Sligo and Derrick McReary decided to team up and become robbers together, and they were convicted of armed robbery in 1978 and for grand larceny in 1986. Shortly after, Sligo, McReary, and Aiden O'Malley left the USA to join the Provisional IRA in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, and they became involved with crime there. During the 1990s, the trio returned to America and resumed their criminal careers, and Sligo was tried for armed robbery in 1999 after McReary ratted them out. Sligo won his trial, and he vowed to kill McReary's family, sending Derrick McReary into a depression. Sligo would later run a small-time car stealing and larceny ring in New Jersey, and he settled in Weehawken.

Death
In 2008, McReary hired hitman Niko Bellic to access a police computer and hunt down and kill Sligo and his gang. Bellic found out that Sligo hung out at a Burger King restaurant, and Bellic drove to the restaurant parking lot with his police car's siren on; this scared Sligo, who fled back to his apartment. Bellic followed him there, and he gunned Sligo down on the steps of his apartment before killing Sligo's gang members, including Glas McClose.
